As you have probably noticed, I am really, really bad at updating this blog. If you are interested in following what I’m doing in a more frequent yet succinct manner, then I suggest that you follow me on Twitter. My twitter URL is as follows:

I usually update twitter more often as you only need to write 140 characters and I can update it from my phone at work.

This is one of the most disturbing videos I have seen from the marshal law situation that occurred during the RNC convention in St. Paul. This girl has nothing but a flower and is peacefully protesting, she gets sprayed with pepper spray and then sprayed a second time when she walked away. How can she possibly have been perceived as a danger? The way the police acted during these protests is absolutely despicable – And where is the outcry?

I’m not sure why they were interviewing Matt Damon about politics, but he seems to be making some very valid points…
Cell Phones August 4, 2008

My cell phone just died (along with all my phone numbers!). The worst thing about this is that I still have three months left on my contract so can’t get a new phone yet. The guy in the store suggested I buy a crappy $30 phone until I can get an upgrade – for the privilege of starting another two year contract. So now I have the crappest phone in the world. Cell Phones are such a rip-off in this country!
Ho Hum

When we moved into our house there was a monitored security system installed by Brinks Home Security, we decided that since the system is already there, we would get it activated, this was a mistake – do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever enter into any business agreement with this company, they will rip you off.
This month, we decided that we no longer want this service and called to cancel. It turns out that we are locked into a three year contract with no option to cancel, there are also all sorts of unfair clauses written into the small print of the contract that nobody mentioned before we signed, including a clause that says that we are not allowed to take them to court (yeah right!). It seems to me that a lot of these clauses may be unconscionable and I am looking in to taking up the matter in small claims court. I will keep you up to date with the progress.
It seems that there is nobody to protect us from having our money stolen by the very people who are protecting us from it.
If anyone else has had similar problems with this company, I’d love to hear from you.
